?Leading the line is a ?Dracula?s Tomb Premium Edition? which is beautifully encased in a tomb casing, contains a copy of the game, four highly detailed miniature figurines designed by comic book artist Neil Googe (Judge Dredd, Wildcats), an A4 hardcover art book, and an exclusive Steelbook?. This stunning item is limited to just 30,000 units across Europe and will be available in the UK exclusively via GAME.

KONAMI has also created an alternative steelbook edition for pre-orders from Zavvi, which is encased in a metallic cover featuring an exclusive image of its central figure, Dracula. Those pre-ordering will also receive the alternate ?Premium Dracula? suit, a ?Dark Dracula? costume, or a ?Relic Rune? pack, that adds a wealth of relic items to the user?s inventory, dependent on where it is pre-ordered.

That steelbook may look like G1, but its actually G2

Thank you for getting in touch about Castlevania lords of Shadows 2.

I can confirm my colleague has advised the steelbook is the same size as a blu-ray box. I hope this helps.

If there is anything else that we can do, then please do not hesitate to get in touch and a member of our team will be happy to help.

Kind regards,

Well a member of another forums published the email which he got from the zavvi customer support there and in that email it was confirmed it will be G1-size because he asked the customer support if the steelbook will be G2-Size and then they answered him that it will be G1-size.

I have sent you the link via pm then you can read it because I don't know if it's allowed to post the link here.

it seems that game.co.uk changed the offer -

Special Features

The Dracula's Tomb 'Premium' Edition includes:

A copy of Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2
The exclusive Steelbook
100 page hardback artbook
3 miniature figurines (approx 10cm high) consisting of Zokek, Victor Belmont and The Lieutenant
"Armoured Dracula" Skin - Includes a full length, leather textured coat with new filigree designs throughout and completely redesigned central belt armour. New battle greaves and pants with adorning paraphernalia add a powerful finish. Dracula himself has a new beard to complete the look.
"Dark Dracula" Skin - Alternate colouring for Dracula’s iconic costume from Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. Taking its cues from the classic designs of past Castlevania games, this costume includes the classic white hair & beard colouring for the ultimate Prince of Darkness.
Relic Pack - Gives you access to most of the game’s relics once you find your first drop. These each have a different effect, some enhance your skills, some enhance your abilities, while others have a more mysterious and surprising effect! Using the exclusive transmutation rune offered in this pack, players who pre order can change relics at will allowing them to always have the best one for any given situation.

Missing:

- NO MORE TOMB BOX

I just hear from a coworker, and the manager at EB verified it, that when the CE changed price from $179.95 to $279.95, anyone who had it paid off in full will only pay $179.95, anyone who hasn't paid it of in full, pays $279.95 . Now I really wish I had preordered it and paid it off in full.

Singer07., that was funny, in Australia EB can do what they want not much competition. I'm sure they can not do this as there is a law in place for items and pricing. Once a price has be shown they have to honor it, it it was me I would test then on it.

And or of course no price drop for this...same price...big guts!!!

Ridiculous....will get it just for having the CE steel and artbook, the rest....f&*# the rest...

At least hope my ps3 CE steel comes G2 sized....

Figures totally dissapointed me...

Pros:

* Tomb looks better for me.
* Exclusive Steel.
* Exclusive artbook??

Contras:

* Figures are crap sincerely...
* One figure less than published.

But don't I'm not sure if this thing will sold out, or will be cheaper in a month...

So, will get my game CE preorder just in case...but not as happy as I should be...

Next week will go to get my CE, but should be as the game comes inside the steel...

That unboxings should be always made of ps3 versions, so we can see if the steel inside is G2, so we would know for sure that xbox edition would had G1 size steel.

Letting us know if does exist a G1 and G2 steel on the CE...

Ill stick with Zaavi steel,and quickly sell the game.Im sure that price will drop quickly for standard edition and then ill check the game.

I won't even bother with this CE,as for now it's worst this year.

I'm not trying to be a fanboy or anything, but the edge said the game was "UGLY" and "unimaginative ", a lot of readers said that the reviewer was constantly comparing this LoS 2 with SoTN ( one doesn't have anything to do with the later except for " castlevania " in the title).
I think if you played the demo and looked at all the screenshot of the game, anyone can conclude that the game is anything but ugly and unimaginative, quite the contrary, it's a pure gem architecturally speaking and art wise.
I definitly loved the demo.

As for the gameinformer review, I keep reading here and there that they give it a 6/10 but i can't find that damn review anywhere :S It should obviously be on their website but NO. I can't find any review on http://www.gameinformer.com

As for the price of the tomb edition.... 100 euros for that??? they can't be serious. I definitly prefer the tomb in it's current format though, the old one on the first pictures showing the CE, well it looked like a box of chocolat to me.

I had to pre order the special edition on amazon.co.uk where the price was 57 pounds which in the end costed me 75 euros ( reasonable for the quality of it, but the tomb edition is definitly not a 100 euro ish collector to me)

02-22-2014, 01:29 PM
Im not thinking the game MUST be bad coz of reviews.I had played a lot of games that got bad reviews and i loved them.I finishied first LoS couple of times-it was absolutely fantastic for me.So i have a HUGE hopes for this one.
Bad reviews here and there just make me dissapointed.I red Cd-Action(polish magazine) review wich gave it 5+ and it made me worry.Then another bad reviews showed up.It must be something wrong....i just hope not.Atleast not for me.

I will get Zaavi version on premiere for sure,i just wan't to erase that tragic CE from my head....

Mr underfox the box of chocolate was funny and you were right, the figures look like something you would put a on a wedding cake but that's just me, the special edition you are getting from uk is the book going to change to the one in the unboxing? If so not good? You can get it on Amazon USA but they want to much coin. Amazon not posting to Australia some crap over here not sure what some restriction makes me think they have watered down the versions here like the South park game.

Could be someone in French, they doesn't seem to have issues with selling a game before release date.

So ummm... the unboxing... where's the box that it comes in? Are these being shipped without any type of outer box or "wrapper" for the CE? Just curious what kind of damage will be done to the tomb shipping from overseas if its not properly packaged :-/

I can confirm that some ppl here in france have received their game and are playing it as we speak.

the special edition you are getting from uk is the book going to change to the one in the unboxing? If so not good? You can get it on Amazon USA but they want to much coin. Amazon not posting to Australia some crap over here not sure what some restriction makes me think they have watered down the versions here like the South park game.

I honestly don't know if the artbook will be the same as the tomb edition or not. I just want that artbook to see if it has the same artwork from the titan book artbook version or not.

AS for the price of the special edition on amazon US.... jesus 175$ for this?


I heard the special edition was exclusive to the UK, is it true? if so, it is actualy more rare than the tomb edition no?

Amazon UK really ship any games, Hitman CE and Dark Souls 2 when it comes to pre-orders they just never ship to Australia and have no idea why? The only reason the USA geezer came up is I tried to get shipping changed, but the bloke at Amazon tried hard to do so but someone was not having it so he told me to go to US Amazon thats the best he could do. As this and a few other games going to be the last buy for next-gen owners maybe it is a rear thing after all.

I got the Dark Souls 2 CE to ship to me? I realise Amazon always do something stupid as allowing global shipping but just not to Australia and for some reason it will become shippable one day after I email / live chat them. Probably Australia is not in the list of worldwide and need to be added manually?

It took Australia forever to have an 18 in gaming, so I think Amazon are still running with the laws of imports here. sad to say and I was born in he UK this place sucks for adult content but food Damn! Try bringing a apple into the country.

Then agin Germany have he same kind of export thing As I won AC black edition but the geezer was not aloud to send the disk in the end had to get money back. The South park game is having content removed for the Australian version.

As for DS2 CE the price EB wanted not paying sold out now anyway. All the best with the chat hope it works as I can't see why not? But they do have an Australian Amazon book section so I think it's time to add games to that.

It is not worth the pricetag, and seeing the game isn't received well by the critics, I'd advise to wait for a price drop. Also everyone should know that the tomb itself is not even plastic, it's like thick paper/cardboard or sth like that.

Artbook is great, steelbook is nice (nothing special, no title in spine for some reason!), figurines not as bas as someone would imagine. Overall, not happy to be honest.

What the hell is wrong with thos reviews stating the game is a misfire and shouldn't have been made? to hell all of them really. The game is excelente and from what I have been playing until now, it is far better than LoS.

I really don't understand how some guys can say it is ugly and uninspired really. Even gameplay wise it is far superior than LoS. Sure at the begining it the same thing, but once you get the 2 weapons and the ability to transform into mist, you become god like.
I swear I felt like a god when I fought that boss after gaining the power to transform into mist. You have no idea how powerfull you feel when you start attacking a boss and he suddenly attack and you turn into mist at that precise moment to avoid the hit and continue you combo right after.

you feel like a fucking boss yourself .

You know how those review goes, they compare LoS 2 to previous Castlevania titles rather than comparing it with LoS. If a game have QTE then they will drop the review score by 2, no multiplayer drop another 2. Have the world Call of Duty it will be instant 9 and above.

All the review keep comparing it to God of War. Lol it is not supposed to be a God of War clone :/

While God of War clone is going too far, the game--unless it's just radically different from the first--was quite obviously heavily influenced by GoW. The first one did a lot of things right in a lot of ways, but the combat was simply a bad God of War. While that shouldn't be the main backbone of the review, that's a hard angle to ignore.

satan really was acting like a pussy the whole fight, it annoyed me actually, I though that I would have to face his real form after ass kicking possessed alucard, but not at all. you kick alucard ass and satan is dead. disapointed.

Just been catching up on this thread and awaiting mine tomorrow but you have to consider that the ACIV black chest is very similar - aside of an outer card slip cover to protect the chest itself.

The chest is also made of thick card and was delivered unsealed with only a slipcover yet it certainly didn't dent the value of the black chest edition....

I'd actually take the finish of decent card over a crappy plastic though wood would be my preference every time....

Given how unhappy so many people seem to be with it, I am seriously considering waiting to order mine off amazon.fr. My only worry is that it may sell out. Then again, the CE for the first game was available for a while, and this game has received worse reviews and more people unhappy with a very spendy CE. I think all the signs point to eventual--and maybe not even too far off price drop; but it's hard to say for sure. Hell, even having it dtop to 80 vs 100 EUR would be a nice little bit of savings.

Even though I don't have the Black Chest edition (I've seen it though), I think it's similar to the Buccaneer or the Freedom edition - the LoS2 Tomb it's definitely nothing like those. I don't think I can describe it properly though...
:(

You 'll see it soon enough :)

We obviously agree on wood as a choice, but I'd also prefer detailed plastic or sth similar more, like.. i don't know, ACB Codex Edition or UC3 Explorer?

If I had to choose between the first Castlevania CE and this, I'd choose every time the first one.

I agree totally - if the outer carton is liveried up to look like it's the outer box of the collector edition then they are effectively delivering a CE without any outer packaging at all....

If that's just the packaging box and they've kindly put the CE name on then where the hell is the outer packaging for the CE?? :banghead:

The tomb is, effectively, a collectible figure equivalent here - got to be protected better for storing

I just received this edition by mail.

What the heck is this? Seriously Konami? This has to be the biggest disappointment I received by mail in a long time.

Seriously? The outer box is horrible, made of card. I will return this extremely overpriced piece of crap, I don't even care.

Also, just to add, the steelbook isn't held in place all that well inside the chest, so is rattling around inside the box. >.< I wasn't too impressed with the edition to be completely honest. :S Glad I'm not buying one. XD

Game of two halves, innit ?? On the plus side . . .lovely artbook, nice steelie and well packaged so no damage. Minus points . . .dodgy tomb, iffy figurines and no outer packaging. The sealed-only crew will go bonkers.

Worth 100 quid - nah. Probably be quite a few returned i would imagine. It will proably drop to 70 or 80 notes in a month or two and I'm gonna be pee'd off . . .AGAIN !!

You're too kind. This edition simply sucks. No packaging, the box is made of CARD, no proper place for the steelbook and the figurines are pure crap. It should not cost any more than 70 euros. And people from the UK got ripped by game uk because this edition sold for the exact same amount in euros in the rest of the countries. This will end up for 40 or 50 at most, maybe less.

Just got my hands on mine. Like most I dont think its great. The figures are very poor and packaged like they are fine metal lol. I do like the art book and steel tho.

Don't know if it's a spanish exclusive.

It includes the same artbook as the Tomb, but no figures, and no steel.

This edition would be the perfect one If it have had included the Tomb steelbook...

But indeed is a pretty one CE...

it's not spanish exclusive ( unless the box is writtend in spanish? I don't know for that?), it was actualy supposed to be a UK exclusive. Now maybe game.es managed to get their hand on some from the Uk and started selling it too on their website.

One thing is for sure, I prefer it to the tomb edition honestly. The box is classier to me.

The Tomb has dropped 10 EUR on amazon France, and the game isn't even a week old yet. I see that price crashing down even farther.

The only problem is I guess they only ship to a german address.

It's 90 EUR on Amazon France. Amazon is especially good for those of us in the US because they take all the EU/UK (depending on which amazon it is) taxes off so we get the items for even cheaper than they are listed.

Hi All

I live in Australia and I pre-ordered my Castlevania 2 - Dracula's Tomb Edition through EB Games well before Christmas last year.

Then about a week ago, I went to look at the link I saved, knowing it was coming up for release (it was pushed back from Feb 28 to Mar 6), but the page did not exist anymore. So I rang them regarding it and they gave me the new release date you read above.

When I arrived at my local EB Games yesterday to pick it up, I was told the prices was.... wait for it, (I hope you're sitting down)... $270.00! Yep, you read that correctly. Now, I couldn't recall the price at the time I pre-ordered it, but I told the person behind the counter that it was around $169.00 and that I wouldn't be getting it for that price.

Anyway, they brought it out for me to look at (same as the pictures on here already) and my first comment was that it was cardboard and I was very disappointed with the presentation of the box. Earlier in this thread, someone mentioned it should of been made out of wood, which is what I said at the shop. Both the Steelbook and artbook are nice, but I wasn't too excited about the figures and packaging.

I left it at the shop and not long after I arrive home I received a phone call from them saying they did some 'research' and that the distributor had increased the price and because I pre-ordered it at the original price (it was in fact $179.00), that I could purchase it for that. I told them I would get back to them with an answer.

Obviously, after seeing the product and not being overly excited about it as a whole, and reading everyone's comments on here, I've decided they can keep it and I will just purchase an ordinary copy.

Yes, the prices are higher in Australia. Unfortunately, that's just the way it is.

All the best,

Vikingo82

Mmmm...so all Europeans amazon's decrease the price 10 euros, en d EBGames ingresar it 100 Australian dollars...

Just curious . . .did anybody actually send their copy back? I know it would be difficult to do after the wonderful cardboard "packaging" was opened but did anybody return theirs on the strength of what they learned here or with the pre-release unboxing.

Steelbook and Artbook are amazing.

The Tomb Edition Artbook is in English.

The box.. man why did they use card board??! So disappointed with the packaging.

It's only gone down by 15 EUR so far. I'm sure it will go down further--especially given that it started dropping within a week of release lol. I don't think it's unreasonable to think it will get to 60. If it gets to 60, then I would go ahead and order it in a heartbeat. It would still be expensive, but that's cheap enough--given the original price.
